Chapter 293: The English Girl (2-in-1)
Although the matter has been resolved, Jiang Zhe does not plan to return to Huaxia so soon, anyway, the matter has basically been resolved, it is better to visit this Great Britain for a few days.
This is the first time he has left Huaxia and come to the other side of the world.
Jiang Zhe did not have the same psychology of admiring foreign countries as some Chinese people, in fact, for him, he preferred the traditional Chinese culture, especially the 5,000-year-old culture, which made Jiang Zhe even more obsessed.
However, although he likes Chinese culture, this does not mean that he rejects and opposes foreign culture.
For him, in fact, some foreign cultures also have merit.
It's just that it didn't make him too obsessed.
The ancient earthlings created a lot of brilliance, and these glories are still affecting everyone today, for example, many people have a kind of opposition between light and darkness in their hearts, and this idea of the opposition between light and darkness comes from the thoughts of ancient philosophers.
Some people often say that the ancient culture of foreign countries is better preserved than that of China, which is very true, but it is not true, but there is not much to say here.
At this moment, Jiang Zhe is walking on the streets of London, to be honest, this London is no different from the cities in China, the idle people are idle at will, but the busy people are with a rushing look on their faces, in short, it is a prosperous scene.
It's just that there are some dark existences in the occasional prosperity.
When Jiang Zhe found a burger restaurant and was about to eat, he suddenly heard a violent explosion not far away, and without him having to go out, Xiao Meow had already told him what was happening outside.
"Another terrorist attack?"
Swallowing a bite of the hamburger, Jiang Zhe secretly thought to himself that for some reason, there has been no shortage of turmoil in Europe recently, and although it has generally maintained stability and prosperity, there will be accidents like this from time to time, especially in the past few months.
Perhaps the citizens of London are used to it, and they are just startled, and then continue to sit in the restaurant and eat burgers.
"Are there any casualties?"
Jiang Zhe asked.
"Someone should be injured, as for whether there is a death, this is not clear, do you need me to investigate in-depth Brother Jiang Zhe?" asked Xiao Meow suspiciously.
"Hehe, no, it's not important. ”
Jiang Zhe shook his head, yes, this kind of thing is not important, as the so-called person dies, there is nothing, if he is really dead, let him know that it is just a number, and he can't say that he prays for these people in silence.
Life and death are fateful.
What's more, what has happened in the past few months is, in general, that the Europeans have suffered on their own, and Jiang Zhe has not bothered to sympathize with these people in this situation.
Leaving the burger restaurant, seeing that the police car had surrounded the place where the explosion had just occurred, Jiang Zhe chuckled, and then turned to leave.
If you drive on the River Thames by boat, you can see a lot of beautiful buildings, and you can also see people and cars coming and going.
On both sides of the Thames River, there is a statue of Admiral Nelson, a symbol of victory, Westminster Abbey, where many great men are buried, St. Paul's Cathedral with Renaissance style, the Tower of London, which has witnessed the dark period of British history, and the Tower of London Bridge, which can take off and land on the deck, etc., each building can be called a masterpiece of art.
Jiang Zhe maintains an attitude of watching from a distance and not playing with them, and standing on the boat and watching it like this also has another beauty.
Distance produces beauty.
Jiang Zhe did not specially arrange a boat, but sat in the same boat with other people, and because of this, sometimes there will be some unusual conversations.
For example, the blonde and blue-eyed British girl in front of you.
However, this beautiful English girl is now talking to him in an awkward, even funny, Chinese.
"Hey, are you from Huaxia? or are you from Neon?"
The girl spoke Chinese once, and then seemed to think of something, and immediately said the second half in English.
"Huh... I'm a Chinese, I don't know what's going on with you?"
Although in a foreign country, it was strange to see a foreign girl actually speaking awkward Chinese, but Jiang Zhe nodded at her.
"Huh, are you really from Huaxia?!"
The English girl was very happy when she heard this.
"I don't know what's going on with you?" Jiang Zhe frowned slightly, for him, he still didn't like this kind of strange accosting very much, because it was difficult for him to deal with strangers, or he didn't like it, and he wasn't used to dealing with strangers, even if the other party was a very beautiful foreign girl, in his eyes, beauties were also people, there was no big difference.
Of course, this is also an occasion, and sometimes Jiang Zhe will not object to anything, but just now he was looking at the beautiful scenery on both sides of the Thames, and he was suddenly disturbed by the girl like this, and his heart was more or less uncomfortable.
However, as a person with cultivation and quality, Jiang Zhe only suppressed the discomfort in his heart.
And this British beauty didn't notice Jiang Zhe's abnormality, and when she heard his words, she immediately became extremely happy: "God, I finally found a Chinese man!"
"You... Hello, my name is Daisy, you can call me by my Chinese name, Taixi, I... I am a Chinese learner, I love Chinese culture very, very much, so I am very happy to see you, a Chinese person, and I want to practice Chinese speaking with you, I don't know if you can... Can you ..... with me? Help me?"
The beautiful British girl fluttered her long eyelashes and looked at Jiang Zhe with a somewhat apprehensive expression.
And hearing the words of the British girl, Jiang Zhe's eyes gradually softened, after all, this is a foreign girl who likes Chinese culture, and it is impossible to put on a stinky face no matter what, although he doesn't actually put on a stinky face.
At the same time, he was a little surprised in his heart, he understood that the influence of Huaxia International was getting stronger and stronger, but he didn't expect that he could still see a Huaxia lover in this situation, and looking at her favorite appearance, it made people feel that she was very different from other so-called Huaxia lovers.
Now many people learn Chinese, but these people are just like Chinese people learning English, just to survive in the future, and the girl in front of her, Jiang Zhe can feel that she really likes Chinese culture.
The culture of the motherland is loved and loved by foreigners, Jiang Zhe is also very happy in his heart, looking at the girl, he smiled lightly: "Of course you can, how do you want me to help you? I am not a teacher, but I can't educate people." ”
"Hee-hee, don't be so troublesome, as long as you can chat with me in Chinese, you know, learning any language requires a corresponding environment." ”
The girl Daisy was very happy when she heard this.
"If that's the case, why don't you go to Huaxia? Or you can go to Chinatown." Jiang Zhe asked curiously, and at the same time, he slowed down his speech, so as not to make the girl understand.
After listening to Jiang Zhe's words, Dai Xi paused, and then said with a smile: "I have been to Chinatown before, but the effect is not great, because many Chinese no longer speak Chinese, even if they speak Chinese, they only speak dialects, their Chinese ability is much worse than mine, but I can't learn dialects with them, right?"
Daisy's Chinese ability is still good, she can say such a big paragraph by herself, although she stumbles on the truth, she can basically understand it, listening to her words, Jiang Zhe is also a little crying and laughing.
He didn't expect that the Chinese in foreign countries had gradually forgotten their native language.
Of course, you can't say that, after all, when you think about it, many Chinese ancestors are poor people, and these poor people can actually only speak the local dialect of their hometown, and in the eyes of these old people, they also speak Huaxia, and in this case, they only teach dialects, and Mandarin is naturally not taught.
Therefore, it is also difficult to let Daisy go to Chinatown to learn Chinese, and most people are not so free to accompany Daisy to practice speaking.
At this time, Daisy said again: "However, I have already applied for an application to study in Huaxia, and once approved, I will be able to go to Huaxia, na, do you think I have a chance to go to Huaxia?"
"Hmm... It's basically possible. ”
Jiang Zhe thought in his heart, as a Briton or a Caucasians, all the countries in China are rushing to study, how can there be no chance?
"Oh yes, my name is Jiang Zhe, there is no English name, you can call me Jiang Zhe. Jiang Zhe smiled at Daisy and said, after all, the other party had already told him his name, and he also needed to tell the other party as a respect.
"Jiang Zhe?" Hearing this, Daisy blinked her eyes a little confused, and then looked at Jiang Zhe with some confusion: "Jiang... Jiang Zhe. Your ..... and your country's"
"Ahem, don't talk about this, you can't say it, you can't say it. ”
Seeing that Daisy was about to say the name of a certain elder, Jiang Zhe hurriedly organized her, he didn't want his time to be stolen.
"Huh?" Daisy looked cute.
At this time, Jiang Zhe quickly changed the topic: "Daisy, your Chinese is so good? How did you learn? When did you learn it?"
Obviously, Jiang Zhe's change of topic was very successful, and Daisy smiled when she heard this: "I started learning Chinese about three years ago, and I learned it as a Chinese teacher. ”
"You started studying three years ago, and you've reached this point in three years?" Jiang Zhe looked at Daisy in some surprise.
I have to surprise him, although there are many geniuses in this world who can learn a foreign language in a short period of time, it stands to reason that Daisy's learning speed is not fast, but sometimes you can't compare with geniuses, at this stage of ordinary people, Daisy's language talent is still very powerful.
After all, you have to know that three years can not be studied every day, after all, Daisy cannot do nothing to learn Chinese, she also needs to learn other things, which also means that she only has very little time to study, and in this case, three years have been able to reach this level, I have to say that it is really quite powerful.
After all, except for the awkward sense of discord in some words due to different accents, Daisy can basically communicate freely in China with her current level of Chinese.
Daisy's poor ability is her ability to speak, and the rest is not bad.
"Hee-hee, it's just average, my teacher said that she once taught a student, and it is said that the student only learned Mandarin for half a year and was even better than the teacher. ”
Daisy smiled modestly and gave an example that made him admire and sigh.
"Those are geniuses, and this one can't be compared. Jiang Zhe smiled lightly, "In fact, your Chinese is already quite good, even if you go to Huaxia, you can communicate fluently, you must know that there are many people in Huaxia who speak with various accents, in Huaxia, in fact, there are few standards who can speak Mandarin." ”
"This teacher has said it. ”
Daisy nodded lightly and then showed a bright smile on her face: "But I still hope to be able to practice speaking better, I once listened to my own Chinese with a recording, really, very funny." ”
"It's already pretty good, really!"
Jiang Zhe said with a smile.
Although it was a little uncomfortable at first, in the following conversation, Jiang Zhe had some good feelings about this girl named Daisy, of course, it was a good impression that had nothing to do with feelings, and in another way of saying it, it was more pleasing to the eye.
Although there have been many maverick situations in women in this era, and more and more women have broken the rotten stereotypes and bad habits, just like Qin Yao that Jiang Zhe once saw, I have to say that Daisy, a British girl, still feels different from those girls in China.
I don't want to say that it feels good.
It just makes him feel new.
Just read thousands of books, travel thousands of miles to meet hundreds of people, everyone is a different feeling for you, to know, to understand a person, there will be a new feeling, this feeling has to say that it is still very good.
Daisy has a good impression of Jiang Zhe, with the elegance of a British girl, but without losing the gentleness of a Chinese girl, perhaps because she has learned Chinese and learned Chinese culture, her temperament makes people feel very comfortable.
Because of this comfort, it is much more pleasant to the ears of Chinese that makes people feel awkward and funny.
The two of them chatted as the boat drove from one side of the Thames to the other.
There is a huge building on the banks of the River Thames, this building is called Somerset House, which is a place that is relatively little known to Chinese people, but has a high status in the hearts of Britons.
The so-called palace is naturally the palace of the king and queen, and in fact it is also the same, built in the 16th century and built at the end of the 18th century, where Queen James I, Queen Charles I and Queen Charles II lived, but it is most famous in modern times as the venue of London Fashion Week!
Of course, because London Fashion Week is not as famous as Milan, Paris, and New York Fashion Week, this also leads to many Chinese people not knowing that there is such a place.
And the purpose of Jiang Zhe and the foreign girl Daisy is here, Somerset House!
